Chetham’s Sinfonia, made up of students aged around 11-16, has taken on some challenging repertoire in recent years, performing alongside Vanessa Redgrave to mark the WWI centenary. This summer they continue their exploration of ballet music, with a programme including dances from Gounod’s opera, Faust, alongside Shostakovich’s experimental Concerto for Piano and Trumpet, featuring two student soloists.
